(1x5=5)

All living beings have right to live on the earth. When God created the earth, He made it for all. He

wanted a world where harmony and peace prevailed. Gradually with the passage of time, man

became so cruel and selfish that he started thinking that the planet was made only for him. He

started using animals for scientific research. He stopped feeling their pain. He tortured them. The

animals are kept in small cages. Man has cut forests, He has destroyed their natural habitat. There

is no doubt that a great deal of cruelty to animals is due to our mindset that animals are happy as

long as they are fed. It is not correct. The stray animals starve on roads. We have to save them.

We are the best creation of God.
